While most 20 and early 30 year olds are posting false illusions, pictures to look cool and trying to impress people, other women are using social media for something greater. I decided to make a monthly blog post to spotlight these women utilizing social media platforms to positively impact others.

Please raise your glass of rosé for this months' 10 magical women on social media spreading love, positivity and doing amazing things for humanity and the world. These women are game changers, influencers, dreamers, creators, healers, and boss babe entrepreneurs.

Courtney Wall, Founder of Lady Killas

Courtney is a UX/UI designer & artist who lives, works and creates in Southern California. After receiving her Associate’s in Communication Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology and her Bachelor’s in Graphic Design at San Diego State University, she focused her interests on culture. Lady Killas was brought to life after she noticed a lack of female leadership in the design field. The recognition sparked a desire to gather her community in order to address issues regarding the Women’s Movement, career growth and a healthy work/life balance. Lady Killas currently hosts monthly meet ups in San Diego and Denver, and offers a line of apparel and accessories fit for the hard-working & sassy millennial woman.

I met Courtney through mutual friends and instantly knew this girl was going places. This boss babe exudes heart, hustle and soul. I have seen Courtney take Ladies Killas from small intimate gatherings to sold out pop ups and events featuring other boss babes. Her passion for women equality and the rise of women in leadership is something that I truly admire. She is also a badass artist and designs for the Lady Killas clothing line brand. It has been SO rad seeing you kick ass, Court! You're truly an inspiration.

Justyna Kedra, Founder and CEO @ FUNDVENTURES + WE Rule

Born in Poland, moved to Chicago at age 14 and then to NYC to pursue her biggest dream – entrepreneurship. Parsons the New School was her only decision and somehow (magically) with the ability to draw stick figures - she got in. She knew that the school would provide her with all the necessary skills. Upon graduation she started interviewing female entrepreneurs that inspired her – first 200 interviews she did herself over coffee. She was amazed how many successful entrepreneurs she met, so started digging deeper- globally. After learning they face the same issues around the world, She realized that she found a problem to solve and a life mission. Then found out that women get only 3% of venture funding- FUNDVENTURES was born. She lives to not only help women and minorities grow bigger and better businesses and help close the gender gap, but by doing so to make our world a better place by investing in people who can make it happen.

I have never met Justyna in person but have had multiple conversations with her when I got featured in an interview with WE Rule. I was honored and taken back by the organization she had created. She truly makes it her life mission to give women like myself a platform to shine. Thank you for giving me and so many other women entrepreneurs a place to sparkle our light!

Marissa and Meredith always wanted to be entrepreneurs and have their own business, so that's what they did! They started their Fashion Blog firstly because in college, they were getting questions daily about their outfits/where they shop/etc. They finally to start the Your Daly Dose blog about 2 and a half years ago and they've hoped to be a help in some ladies' lives with styling/fashion sense/inspo and even a little bit of lifestyle inspo as well! From there, they wanted to create a brand (Fashion Label) that really inspired women with what they put on. They personally want to feel confident when they go out each day, and believe that, that stems from what you put on yourself (Fashion/Sense of Style). They love to feel confident yet still look like a lady, so they make pieces that do just that. They hope that their pieces make others feel like this as well, and hope to keep growing as a BRAND, a LABEL, and as PEOPLE.

I met these two babes last year (2016) when we were both showcasing our clothing lines at Fashion Week San Diego. Not only are these ladies two of the purest and kindest souls you will meet but I have seen them both design, cut, and sow a beautiful silk gown in minutes, yes minutes. They're seriously beyond talented. I'm so grateful we got to experience the magic of fashion week together and beyond grateful for our deep talks about entrepreneurship, fashion, confidence and life lessons. Love you both and thanks for inspiring me and so many others with your loveliness.
